The Big 12 season opener against Oklahoma was the first home game in two weeks are so, and tailgate mixers were the in-thing. Saturday's game laid the perfect scene for at least two sorority-fraternity pre-game shindigs. The Alpha Delta Pi / Pi Kappa Phi mixers wore highlighter colored shirts that could blind you if you stood too close. The Kappa Alpha Theta / Kappa Omega Tau shirts were less glow-in-the-dark, more let's-blend-in Baylor green.

So other than a common t-shirt, what does a pre-game tailgate mixer need to be successful? When the game kicks off at 11:30 in the a.m. hot dogs and hamburgers are not in order, breakfast burritos are! OJ is also a must. Caffeine is too, so don't forget the Dr. Pepper. Oh and make sure not to forget the digital camera, because this mixer better make it on Facebook, otherwise you're just not repping it enough.

But the biggest part of a tailgate mixer is to show up for the game. The group with the highlighter shirts could be seen from space, not to mention mom and dad's TV at home.

Let's see who comes out for the next home game... Parent's Weekend! (hint, hint...)
